Random Spam #3
It’s time for another round of spam from the previously unsung heroes of my stash! This edition has no red thread, so just sit back and enjoy the ride. I hope there’s something good for everyone.
China Glaze Visit Me In Prism
Color and finish: Golden-taupey nude scattered holographic.
Collection: Kaleidoscope (2009)
Formula and coverage: Easy to apply, but be aware that you’ll easily drag the previous coat and get bald spots if you don’t wait a bit between coats. Very sheer, 4 coats for full coverage.
Where to get: Unfortunately, these are hard to come by nowadays, but maybe you’ll get lucky and find it in a blog sale somewhere? Also, “dusty” salons are likely to still have these in stock, or eBay as a last resort. Price will naturally vary.
China Glaze Starboard
Color and finish: Starboard-lantern green creme. Reminds me of when I used to go fishing with my dad when I was little, and he used to let me steer the boat, and how he taught me the difference between port and starboard. A nice basic color. (I had to hold the topcoat bottle, because when I held the polish bottle, all the green in the frame freaked out my camera and made the pic very inaccurate!)
Collection: Anchors Away (2011)
Formula and coverage: Glides nice and easy on the nail. Surprisingly sheer, I needed three thin coats for opacity.
Where to get: Web shops such as TransDesign, $2.99.
Orly Emberstone
Color and finish: Orange-red glassfleck (or mineral-fleck?). I can also see some pinkish particles here and there! This was hard to capture on camera, so my pics are more orange than it looks in real life.
Collection: Mineral FX (2011)
Formula and coverage: Easy application, but slightly on the runny side. 3 coats.
Where to get: TransDesign, $5.32.
Color Club Alter Ego
Color and finish: Purple based foil with gold and silver sparkles. Looks oddly grey and mostly silver on me, though.
Collection: Alter Ego (2011)
Formula and coverage: Slightly runny, but easy enough to apply. Sheer, so I needed 4 thin coats for full coverage.
Where to get: TransDesign, $3.10.
Hope you enjoyed this little roundup, thanks for stopping by!

Nothing like a little spam to fatten me up! Delicious. I love how juicy Starboard looks.
It’s not as delicious as your spam, but it will have to do.
You DO serve amazing spam! Guh. You’re making me want to hunt down Emberstone and I’ve been on the fence about it – so gorgeous and glowy here!
Thanks, Nicole! It is very glowy, though more red than in these pics.
Kul med så blandade lack
Emberstone var himla fint!
Takk! Synes det er greit å samle opp noen lakk en gang i blant.
Alltid lika roligt att se dina bilder och läsa dina inlägg.
Tusen takk, kjære Sminkan!<3
